A(n) , used as part of the stationary phase, has an affinity for the solvent and the chemical components of the mixture. adsorbent eluent Rf factor chromatogram

The answer is Adsorbent

The adsorbent has a high affinity for solvent and the chemical components of the mixture.

Chromatography is a method of separation in which the mixture of substances is introduced into a mobile phase (solvent). The separation occurs as the solvent interacts with an adsorbent(stationary phase).

The extent of separation of the components of the mixture depends on the extent of interaction between the mobile and the stationary phase . This interaction also determines the retention factor (Rf) of the separation.

For a definition of chromatography, see

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
